"Nice to meet you Lucille," she nodded.
Turning to Chris she gave him a confirming nod as well, and watched as he skuttled off to get the plant.He was back in the blink of an eye, and Sarah eyed the leaves trying to work out which ones they had to pull off.She looked up when he asked who was going first.Lucille didn't seem to want to, and Nancy..well she didn't either.Both of them were looking towards the Prefects expectantly....OH.
"Uhhh I guess I could," Sarah shrugged, looking between all of them.If she didn't it seemed the task would never get done....Carefully moving some of the bigger leaves aside with her fingers, Sarah spotted a little one hiding near the middle of the plant.Ever so gently she gave it a little twist at the base and it came off in her hand. "Ha, that wasn't so bad.Came out quite easy.Who wants to go next? I don't think you'll damage it if you're careful," she smiled, giving them a knowing look.
EEK. Lucille put on her "brave" face, which basically meant squaring her shoulders and pursing her lips. "Ok," she said. "I guess i can do that." She reached out her hand and hovered around, deciding which one to go for. She spotted a teeeeeeny leave, quite near the top that looked all loneyly. Like it WANTED to be picked. THEN SHE WOULD PICK IT!! YAYY!!
She reached towards it and grasped it between her finger and thumb, and gently twisted untill it cam off in her hand. She did it? SHE DID IT!!
Wow, she COULD be gentle.
